We drove them 250,000+ miles! | Toyota 4Runner vs. Lexus GX460 Review

In one of the hardest and longest test drives ever of these models, we have put a combined 260,804 miles on our 2014 4Runner Trail Edition and 2016 Lexus GX460. Needless to say... we've got a few thoughts to share on what we liked best! Oh and fun fact; over 130,000 miles of travel were off-road AND towing... talk about a thorough test drive.

[@henry78560]

Why does no one ever speak about the fact that the GX has 3:90 diff gears while the 4Runner has 3:75. That makes a difference in towing. Also no one talks about the torque curve of the engine. That's what matters in towing also. Why these engine make so little power is because lower power in a larger engine reduces cylinder heat and pressure while increasing the duty cycle of the engine. That's why your low power 4Runner and GX can run at high RPM with no issue. The 4Runner has a deep skirted block with a main web girdle, 6 bolt main with cross bolted mains, and windage tray. The heads are large high port heads, and the lower aluminum intake has a tunnel ram design. All this for only 270 Lbs of torque. This is why this engine does not break. So much so that over seas Toyota put this V6 in the Land Cruiser 300.

[@mtnslyr]

Only mechanically inclined ppl know about it. For a layman this is terrible on the paper, only 265 hp, no turbo, port injection and mileage is 17mpg combined!

[@tuckerhiggins4336]

That gearing won't make a big difference. That's like a 4% difference. The torque on the v8 is all of the difference Edit: The extra gear the GX has helps more too

[@luvslogistics1725]

Thank you for the brilliant comment. I never knew and wondered…for example, drove a rental Armada with a beautiful growl and powerful V8, by comparison my 4R ORP is slower and struggles…

[@MaximumDIYGarage]

Outstanding comment, Henry! Thank you for sharing these design details of this engine!!!

[@yotaman492]

Most people who put that much extra weight in the 4RNR regear the diffs. You should even really do it after a lift kit & bigger tires. Can't say I've seen a video where they've talked about doing it, especially with all that armor & towing a trailer. I regeared mine w/ Yukon gears after lifting & bigger tires. Made a big difference!

[@deepcleannation7367]

I’ve owned both. I like the simplicity of the 4Runner and the roll down back window. I also think it looks better. The drive of the GX is night and day better, obviously more power, quieter and smoother. As a daily, it’s not even close, the GX is better.

[@MHN212]

Which trim of the 4Runner did you own? I feel that the Limited would be closer to the GX in comfort.

[@chuckschreiber2365]

I went to buy a 4Runner a few months ago. After getting a ridiculous run around, game playing, outright lying from Toyota dealers on availability and actual cost, I started looking at the GX. Turned out I could get a new GX premium plus for about the same that Toyota dealers want for a TRD (not the pro version which was actually thousands more than the GX due to the market adjustment add in).

I’ve driven 5th gen 4Runners and own a 3rd gen 4runner and GX460 and I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. Basically it comes down to personal preference because they are both amazing vehicles and you can’t go wrong with either.

Glad I was able to snag a GX 460 last year for the Wife while they still have the V8! It's been wonderful to drive, and hauls everything we need for beach trips. Super comfortable and quiet ride on long drives, and zero back pain from sitting in the seats for a long time. Once it's paid off.. gotta consider bumpers and tires!

[@mattclark1278]

One additional preference I've found that really matters for traveling / overlanding / sightseeing: at 6'1", the 5th gen 4R cockpit glass feels very much bunker-like to me when looking forward and to the sides, whereas the GX glass is sooooo much more expansive. Without doing any contortions you can see higher up hillsides in canyons, lower down into valleys on passes (and into ditches when in the dirt) and the forward margins are larger as well.

[@240sxdriver]

The first words a coworker said as he got into my 4Runner were "I feel like I'm back in a tank" LOL

[@mvonwalter6927]

Thats such a huge consideration. A lot of crossovers feel that way too.

[@texlee1640]

We've owned three of each, short of the roll down rear window and the sportier styling on the 4Runner we choose the GX over the 5th Gen every single time. Both are great vehicles, especially when used in this overland segment and they will go down as some of the best of all time for this use as well.

What great commentary and I agree both are winners! In regards to your comments on steering pull and steering rack replacement - it's likely the aggressive offset wheels. Impacts scrub radius and torque steer on power, as well as puts much more load on the steering rack.

This is absolutely a great video. You did a great job of getting into details but not too much. I love the fact that you have hands on experience with both the 4Runner and the G so you are not blowing amoke. That gives you credibility. I'm driving a 470. It sounds like many of the interior switchery things you dont like about the 460 are not in a 470. It would be interesting to know how it would compare against the 4Runner. It's still got the V8 and a manual 4x shift linkage.

Excellent video. I have owned two GX 460s a 2011 as well as a current 2022 both luxury models, and I have to say it is the best driving suv arguably on the planet other than the LX 570 but who wants to have something that large and expensive not me. The GX is the sweet spot and I love that V8. I would argue it is the greatest cruising motor ever made it’s so smooth and the instant power is so nice especially when you compare it to these tiny overstressed turbos. I don’t know how anyone enjoys those cars I’ll be flat out honest naturally aspirated V8s are the greatest motors ever made.

[@cityblues2087]

I have owned my 2010 5gen trail with KDSS since January 2010 and it has run flawlessly since. Only the dealer services it and the only mod I've done was changing up the suspension slightly with Fox shocks and larger UCRs and I had the dealer's front end guy do the work in house, which was excellent (he's a well versed off-road enthusiast). The only other mod was in the beginning when I added sound deadening front to back, top to bottom; it added about 180lbs but well worth the effort IMHO. I also removed the cloth about 3 years ago and had the seats and arm rest completely wrapped in some high grade perforated gray leather. I've thought about picking up a GX, which think are great, except for the approach and departure angles, but whenever I'd go drive one and then get back in my 4Runner I'd ask myself why. Lately I've been thinking about having my Toyota dealer install a Magnuson supercharger. Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed the comparison of the two vehicles. Thanks.

[@rostamr4096]

Great review. Where I live, in the Seattle area, having a full-time 4-wheel drive is a must because of all the rain. My 4runner limited performs flawlessly and love it.

[@Paul-mt2xr]

Hi. I live in Seattle too. I have same feeling that for traveling over mountain passes in winter on highways requires full time 4wd. While part time in such conditions should be operated in 2wd , which would be harder to drive, because 4wd with no central differential would just dangerous. Am I figuring out that right?

Ignorant KZbinr like @PRviewsvlogs can definitely watch and learn from this video and open his horizon that what he knows isn't everything... Thank you for doing this video. It also taught me a lot about the differences in two vehicles as I definitely noticed the driving dynamics between the two are vastly different on highways yet some don't agree.

The main things for me that make the 460 superior are: 1. V8 for towing 2. Full-time 4wd. Its one of the best drivelines ive used for snow driving and I love being able to put it in 4Lo unlocked. It will tackle some pretty gnarly terrain unlocked and it makes moving my trailer around the yard easy without binding up. 3. The 6 speed with the shorter axle ratio. I bet my GX gets the same MPG's as a 4Runner and yet has deeper gearing. It can reasonably turn 33's without having to regear. 4. KDSS on all 460's vs just TRD OR 4Runners. The GX is missing the locker but ATRAC can get you threw a lot.

@@Lexusgx550 It's nice but I wouldn't say it's a must. I think it needs a suspension upgrade over stock either way so you could make the ride much nicer by doing the upgrade.
